Redirect 301 & RewriteCond Collision - .htaccess

Question

I have in my .htaccess file the following code:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
Redirect 301 /index.asp http://www.website.com/index.php
Redirect 301 /contact.asp http://www.website.com/contact.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?index\.([a-zA-Z0-9]{3,4})$ /$1 [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 error.php
RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml sitemap.php
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule .* - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)$
RewriteRule (.*) seofile.php?word=%{REQUEST_URI}
Now,
for some reason, when I entry to contact.asp I'm getting
http://www.website.com/seofile.php?word=/contact.asp
how can I fix it?

Answer 1

Try using rewriterule instead of Redirect (I think rewrite rules are applied before redirect rules). So something like:
RewriteRule ^index.asp / [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^contact.asp /contact.php [R=301,L]
PS. the first rule can be removed, as you already rewrite every index.xxx file.

Answer 2

Advice: try to separate things that don't belong to RewriteRules.
Try this code and please tell me if it works:
ErrorDocument 404 error.php
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(index|contact)\.asp $1.php [QSA,R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ sitemap.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !POST
RewriteRule ^(.*/)?index\.([a-zA-Z0-9]{3,4})$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} 200
RewriteRule (.*) - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) seofile.php?word=%{REQUEST_URI}
